Sweden seizes vessel suspected of 'sabotage' after undersea data cable rupture in Baltic Sea
Sweden seizes vessel suspected of 'sabotage' after undersea data cable rupture in Baltic Sea
It happened again, after the first vessel got seized?
Shit. Quit talking about it and start acting on it. Russia will not stop this bullshit until they start either escorting every RU originating vessel or full out call them on this.
Russia doesn't care about calling out. They'll just complain about the lack of proof and how unfair the West is.
They'll respond more to use of force and playing their stupid game. Seize a few Russian ships by "pirates" or have a few sudden "machine room fires" and tell Russia "for your safety, stay away from that region or pay us for an escort".
I've mentioned it before, but I'll say it again: It's getting to a point where I would like to see the coast guard or navy simply sail up to one of these ships, say nothing, put a couple 76mm shells in their bow to sink them, and sail away. When Russia and/or China come bitching you answer "What? No! These are baseless accusations! We haven't even had a ship in that area for months!" make sure to keep the AIS turned on during the entire thing for added effect.
See how long they keep cutting cables after you've done that a couple times.
Fuck Russia.
This is definitely a great move by Russia. Try picking a fight with Sweden AND Finland? Big brain move there. So Russia, how is the Black Sea fleet doing? Tsushima will be a footnote if you try NATO.
